I see they are having a 10% Black Friday sale. Gets the price down to $1,250. Anyone have one and think they are worth it? Before someone starts saying "Hell no" and "Buy an AR + ammo" understand that I really like M1 Carbines, have 2 already (an Inland and an AO) and have a lot invested in mags...

NRA message sounds positive, but it doesn't say what it means or where it leaves us at this point. Anyone know what's next? U.S. House Passes NRA-backed National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Legislation The U.S. House of Representatives has passed an important self-defense measure that...

I'm warming up to getting an AR but I'm getting confused by all of the options. Here are my criteria: Trying to stay around $1,000 16-18 inch barrel Mid-length gas system (supposedly more reliable) 1:7 or 1:8 twist rate (supposedly better for heavier rounds) What should I be looking at? The...

I've never been into ARs....not crazy about the round, the DI system and thought they were too front heavy. Only "rifles" I own are M1 Carbines (2). Love the look, balance & weight (yeah, I know it's not really a "rifle" round). Still, something tells me that I should have an AR in my...

Well, after trading in my CW9 (too many problems) for a SIG P250 SC, I think I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I don't think I'll be able to live with the ridiculously long trigger pull (way longer than a revolver IMO) and the extra weight (24 oz unloaded). It has been reliable and has...

I brought my 2 week old (250 round count) CW9 back to the GS that I bought it from to see what my options were. Now, the sticker price of the gun was $399 and they were having a 10% of sale that day so I got it for $359. First thing I noticed in the store is another CW9 in the case with a price...

Took my Kahr CW9 back to the range this evening after having a few failures to fire and 1 failure to feed in the first 150 rounds. I had cleaned it real well (even the firing pin channel) and lubed it up. Got a 2nd factory mag in the mail that I ordered (sick of relaoding every 7 rounds) and 2...

Took my new CW9 out to the range for the first time. Did the cleaning and oiling a couple of days ago. Brought a 100 round box of WWB and a 50 round box of Remington. Only have the 1 7-round mag that came with it (never do this again). Took awhile to get use to the trigger. The first 105 rounds...

Did some shopping today and came to the conclusion that I don't want a "micro" 9mm (Kahr PM9/CM9 size) but do want a slim, compact 9mm. Narrowed it down to the 3 I mentioned. Looking for feedback, especially on the Millenium Pro. It was my first semi a few years back. Really liked the size and...

I think I will be getting a SP101 in the near future. Having trouble deciding between the 2 or 3 inch version. My question is: would I be able to use my Model 60 (2" .357) holsters with the 2" SP101 and my Model 65 (3") holsters with the 3" SP101? A holster match may sway me as it will save me a...

I've been wanting a new rifle for awhile but can't decide on a caliber (.308, 5.56) or platform. I know T/C and Rossi make rifles that have interchangeable barrels for different calibers. Are there any others? Anyone have any experience with them and are they reliable?

I think I'm going to be buying a lever action .357 in the near future. Can you guys give me the pros/cons on the current crop of manufacturers (Marlin, Puma/Rossi, Henry)? Will probably use the iron sights (no scope). Looking at it as a good all purpose rifle to go with my .357 revolvers. Thanks.

Can anyone offer any insight into these? Looking into the Rossi or the Savage (not sure if there are any others). I'd like a 12 gauge and a centerfire caliber (.223/.308/30-06). http://www.rossiusa.com/products/gunselector-results.cfm?series=MFC&Category=MATCHEDPAIR...

I live in CT and I'm considering moving in with my girlfriend. She has a child who is a minor. I own a few handguns and rifles and am starting to wonder about how I should be storing them. I currently keep my carry piece handy if its not on me (nightstand or combo storage box) and the rest of my...

Henry has some nice looking .357 lever action rifles as well as a pump .22 Magnum. How do they compare tothe Puma/Rossi lever action rifles? Are either worth the savings vs. a new Marlin? Just looking for opinions. Thanks.

I'm interested in feedback on specific models, not which manufacturer (Savage, Remington, Tikka..etc.). My two requirements are a) that it comes with iron sights and b) is under $750 (give or take a few $). Thanks!

I've been reading up on the piston rifles and everything points to these two manufacturers, especially since I want a 6.8. Not sure if the Masada (now to be made by Bushamaster) or the SCAR will be out before the election. Any pros/cons to either the Robinson or LWRC (besides price)?

Now that I understand how the .223/5.56 tumbles and fragments above a certain velocity in a FMJ round and how that makes it effective, I'm wondering what the impact of using SP/HP ammo has on this characteristic? Does a SP/HP .223/5.56 round still tumble and fragment like a FMJ round or does it...

After thinking I wanted another rifle, I've become interested in shotguns. I know the next question: what will you use it for? The truth: everything and nothing. I have handguns for HD and I don't hunt, but I like the versatility concept of a shotgun for HD or hunting small, med & maybe large...

Talking about a hypothetical SHTF scenario. I was wondering if anyone does this or would do this? For example, mixing some rounds of FMJ with JSP/JHP rounds in a magazine. The reason I ask is people say "ball"/FMJ rounds are better barrier penetrators where JSP/JHP seems to work better against...
